I’m Taking My Talents to South Beach
Good lord, man. What have you been doing with yourself that’s kept you from updating this thing for months? Well, we’ve been enjoying the summer with trips to Nantucket, NYC, and the Berkshires. Oh, and the Lovely Suse and I both got new jobs.
Yup, after 7 years at hers and 12(!) years at mine, we’ve both decided to move on to “new challenges”. The Lovely Suse started her new gig a month ago at a school closer to home, and we’ve been loving her shorter commute, shorter hours, and the fact that the Lovely Tess will be joining her there in the fall. Score.
This week is my last week at my current job. None of you even know what the heck I do anyways, but you all know that I’ve been here for a very long time. I can’t think of anyone else that I know who’s been at the same job since graduating college like I have. Twelve years seems like an eternity, and it’s probably going to take a little time to get adjusted to a new place after being in the same environment, surrounded by the same people, and doing the same work for so long. But I am pretty ecstatic for the change. I went back to school and put myself through the ringer for two years to give myself an opportunity to transition to something different and more interesting. I feel very fortunate to have found something so quickly and something that I feel is a perfect fit for my skills, background, and interests. I’ll still be hanging around the technology world, but I’ll be moving to the consumer end of the business where I’ll be working for a large consumer electronics company that all of you have heard of. So thanks to the folks who I’ve worked with over the years, and thanks to a great company that has supported me and allowed me to grow over the past dozen years. My job title will no longer be “engineer”, but I’ll always be an engineer at heart. Time to move on.
